It is pretty crazy! I have to make a distinction between medically-necessary cosmetic surgery and that which is done purely for vanity. Or in so many cases, I assume, that which is done to try and redress a nagging sense of inadequacy in terms of physical appearance. There's a whole industry as well here that ultimately preys upon people with low self-esteem or those negatively effected by the unrealistic beauty expectations of our age and the surgeons and others acting within this industry are doing so with a profound lack of ethics. It's disappointing it's so widespread when all that time and energy could be better spent developing cultures of self acceptance and happiness as one is. So much media, advertising and marketing fuels widespread inadequacy as well, so that would have to change. It's just a shame what people will do to others for money!
